I've confirmed the sed approach works. Borrowing directly from here:
https://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/inout.wiki
. . . but simplifed, somewhat, with a sed command in the middle, the end
result looks like this:
fossil export --git --export-marks ../repo/fossil.marks \
../repo.fossil | sed \
's/^\(committer \+\)\([^ ]\+@[^ ]\+\)\( *<\)\(\w\+\)\(>.*\)$/\1\4\3\2\5/'
\
| git fast-import --export-marks=../repo/git.marks
The regex is a little long. I might try to pare it down slightly, at
some point. I'll also try to find time to report an issue with Git
export formatting that swaps email and name info, then if I feel *very*
ambitious about the time I have available to spend I might also try
submitting a patch to close the issue. Don't hold your breath, though;
life is crazy, and my to-do list is already long.
I hope the lack of responses to my questions was because of the holiday
season, because that means you all might be having a good time.
